I wanted to share the burrito recipe that I made the other night when I made the new Spanish rice recipe. This one comes from Ree Drummond off of our Apple app.

Beef & Bean Burritos

1 medium onion, diced
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
Three 7-ounce cans Mexican tomato sauce (she used El Patobrand) or enchilada sauce
One 28-ounce can refried beans
3/4 cup grated cheddar, plus extra for sprinkling
12 burrito-size flour tortillas
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Preheat oven to 170-180 degrees.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onions until softened. Then add the ground beef and cook until the beef is cooked through. Add the cumin, chili powder, oregano and salt and stir to combine. Pour 2 cans of the Mexican tomato sauce into the meat and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Add a little water if the mixture gets too dry.

Meanwhile, heat the refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the cheese and stir it in until it's melted. Remove from the heat.

Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 1 minutes and then spread a small amount of beans on each tortilla. Add a small amount of the meat. Fold over the ends of the tortilla, and then roll them up. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Then place them in a large baking dish, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven.

When ready to serve, drizzle the remaining can of tomato sauce over all the burritos and sprinkle with more grated cheddar. Return to the oven for a couple of minutes just to melt the cheese.

Sprinkle the tops with the cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

**Now, as I typed this, I realized that I made some accidental mistakes alongside the changes that I intentionally made. Boyd and I noticed that the ground beef mixture was quite spicy, so we just made the kids' burritos with beans and cheese. I now see that I made a mistake because I used 1 pound of ground beef with the same amount of seasonings. It was not uncomfortable for me to eat and most of you know that I am a sissy when it comes to extreme heat, so it wasn't all that bad.

I also skipped the step of pouring sauce and cheese on top of them (I didn't have cilantro either). It worked best for the kids to be able to pick them up and eat them, so that's what we went with and they chowed down with no complaints.

For the record, I used enchilada sauce and it was excellent, but I went with that because I already knew that we liked it.

Happy eating!
